I was going to stop working in my Moleskine and move on but decided that I should try to finish it. I started this spread with a thin wash of white acrylic paint. I let that dry and used Caran d’Ache crayons and used a water wash to blend and smoosh them around on the pages. I used some painted phone book pages for collage pieces. I used black acrylic paint for the bold black lines and Higgins Black Eternal Ink with a dip pen for the thinner lines. The Higgins ink says it is permanent but it isn’t waterproof….or maybe I didn’t let it dry well enough? Last of all, I used my new favorite white pen (recommended by Misty Mawn), a uni-ball Signo pen. It writes on almost everything!
Signo white pens are one of my favorites although I use Sharpie ultra-fine white poster paint pens, too. I haven’t tried the Higgins ink….I think mine is Speedball India ink.
I love what you wrote on these pages….so true.
I love that you tell how you did a page and what you used–I want to try the signo pen–I have problems with the white gel pens writing over certain mediums. Where did you get yours?
I ordered my Signo from Dick Blick. I like the black one too…they are the best I’ve tried so far.
The yellow and blue works really well.
Especially when they fade in together on the background.
A job well done
